MARGA Accepting Members For the 2004 Golfing Season

The Madison Area Retiree Golf Association, finalizing plans for the 2004 golf season, has openings for new members in five of its six leagues.

The association conducts play for retired persons with five separate leagues on three of the four Madison Municipal courses. This year a sixth league will be organized at Monona Golf Course to alleviate the crowding in the Tuesday league there.

The 2003 season saw a net gain of 14, increasing participation to 205 golfers. Play for prizes is a part of each league. Handicaps, kept by the league itself, are used to determine winners. Last season almost all players won prizes. If you can play, you can win.

Leagues play at Yahara Hills on Monday and Friday; at Monona on Tuesday and at Glenway on Monday and Thursday. The new league will play on Monday at Monona. The season runs for 16 weeks, beginning in late April or early May.

Tournaments are played at the end of the season and outings to other area courses are an optional part of the program.

MARGA's rules require that members be retired from their principal means of livelihood. Also see: bargain golf equipment.
